Felipe Monteiro a8660a7e53 docs: Reorganize documentation structure
This patch set reorganizes Deckhand's documentation structure
for better organization into 3 distinct categories:

* developer's guide
* operator's guide
* user's guide

This means that the RTD navigation menu on the left-hand side
will have fewer links (see list above) making navigation much
easier. This is similar to how Armada organizes its documentation
too.

This patch set also updates README section with a better
overview and trims some fat from it (remove testing
documentation as it doesn't really belong there -- there
is a dedicated page for that already).

Finally, this patch set changes the exceptions page to
render as a basic list of autoexception classes because
the current tabularized view is not rendering correctly
on RTD [0].

Welcome to Deckhand's documentation!

Deckhand is a document-based configuration storage service built with auditability and validation in mind. It serves as the back-end storage service for Airship.

Deckhand's primary responsibilities include validating and storing YAML documents that are layered together to produce finalized documents, containing site configuration data, including sensitive data. Secrets can be stored using specialized secret storage management services like Barbican and later substituted into finalized or "rendered" documents.

The service understands a variety of document types, the combination of which describe the manner in which Deckhand renders finalized documents for consumption by other Airship services.
